Based on your experience during your career with successful and unsuccessful supply chain transformations at scale, what were 3 key factors that contributed to having a positive transformation & 3 key factors that undermined it and led to the failure?

Success factors
1. Clear scope / project charter
2. Effective program sponsor
3. Continuous communication

Failures (the opposite)
1. Lack of clarity on scope
2. Ineffective sponsor
3. Poor communication / sporadic communication

The three drivers of a successful or nullified supply chain transformation I have seen:
1. Communicating goals and the reason for change
2. Leadership's buy-in and ability to move roadblocks
3. Level-setting expectations based on data available (if yo have good data it goes smoothly, if you have bad data there will be "growing pains")

I think it is best to see a supply chain transformation as positive or negative based on if you get the benefits you were trying to achieve (that's why I used nullified or void in my response)

Factors that promote positive outcomes are:
1. Executive level support, buy-in, and governance. With patience to allow the journey to yield the targeted business results.
2. A well-defined project plan that can be executed, managed, and measured.
3. A well-defined change management program for adoption, employee training, and end-user collaboration.

Factors that undermined the success of a transformation:
1. Failed to define the problem statement and source the right solution.
2. Project management and deployment took place in silos with no enterprise-wide accountability. 
3. Unrealistic milestone dates, timelines, and insufficiently resourced. Lacking continuous improvement initiatives.

3 Key Factors for successful supply chain transformation:

1. Ongoing/Continuous Collaboration & Organizational Flexibility: it shows how serious are they on wanting to achieve the goal/mission.
2. Alignment between internal processes and external suppliers: Evolving operational business models & Supply chain integrations.
3. Organizational capability: both in personnels and technologies 

3 Key Factors that lead to failure in supply chain transformation:

1. Forgot the most important part behind all of this transformation which is to always start with your customer need/demand. No business ever existed without having their customers.
2. Forgot to put people first (team, front line users, customers, etc.) over the technologies.
3. Lacking of commitment.

The three factors that led to increased success are:
1. Executive leadership support, governance, accountability, and communication.
2. Disciplined and planned change management.
3. Investment in people -- training, skills development, and cross-functional support.

Bonus:
**Mechanisms to measure adoption and success in real-time to provide closed-loop feedback to employees. (KPIs/OKRs) that drive sustainable adoption of new technology implementations and integrations.
